He had seen many arrogant people in his day, but this was a whole new level! Fred's audacity had reached an unprecedented height, even for West Valley's standards. While his confrontations with Zane were one thing, this was entirely different. Zane might seem like the big shot of West Valley, but in the end, he was just an ordinary Joe. He could be hit if someone had the muscle to do so. Mr. Gaston, however, was an entirely different kettle of fish—he was the General of the Public Security Bureau, a government official! Despite that, Fred still had the nerve to speak out of turn after knowing who he was. This was blatant disrespect. "Perfect! Absolutely perfect!" Mr. Gaston's tone was icy. "It seems my time in West Valley has been too short. I had no idea the law and order here was this poor. It's high time someone put things right." With that, he turned to his officers. "Why are you standing around? Can't you see our esteemed Mr. Moore is being harassed? Protecting our cit

Somer had a steadfast rule—politics and business did not mix. So, in Mr. Gaston's mind, Fred's mysterious phone call was probably to some influential family elder or top-tier executive. Why should he, Mr. Gaston, feel threatened by someone outside the political sphere? Even if they were from within it, with Fred and his partner's blatant defiance against the Public Security Bureau's men, Mr. Gaston felt he had the upper hand. To his surprise, the voice on the other end, much like Fred earlier, skipped formalities. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" "I couldn't care less. The audacity of this Fred here to challenge the Public Security Bureau! I don't care if you're the highest deity out there, he's not getting off easy!" Mr. Gaston retorted. "Oh, really? Interesting." The voice on the line said, chillingly calm, "In my time overseeing the Department of Public Security, you're the first to address me, Harrison Lopez, in such a manner." Mr. Gaston's smirk faded as rea

Of course, these were all Zane’s excuses.From the current situation, he could never defeat Fred. His only hope was the director, who had already fainted on the ground.Therefore, Zane's only choice was to buy time. He felt that he could find a solution as long as there was enough time.‘Did you know what it took for me to become the Chairman of the Red Moon Group? How many people have I killed on and off the record? Now, I should get lost just because you tell me to? Impossible! If I have more time, I will definitely find a way to deal with you!’ Zane thought to himself but did not say it out loud. Instead, he pretended to be sincere, almost begging Fred.Soon, Fred asked. "How long do you need?"Immediately, Stellar wanted to dissuade Fred, but Zane jumped in. "Three days... no! Two days! Two days is enough!"As Zane said that, he started laughing internally and even secretly mocked Fred for being such a fool to agree.However, Fred remained indifferent and said calmly, "Sure!

Stellar took a stance and stepped forward immediately.This time, Fred stopped him with one hand."Lord, are you..." Stellar blurted."I got this. Let's end this fight quickly," Fred said calmly.Stellar immediately stepped aside.Zane just laughed.Why did he prepare so many people?The gang of thugs that were heavily armed was prepared with Stellar in mind, of course.Now, Fred decided to not utilize a powerful master like Stellar and wanted to do it himself.Did he smash his brain on a door, or was he making a joke?Perhaps, he was confused by sheer anger?Whatever the case, Zane did not think that a boy like Fred, who did not even seem to be thirty, could have much power.Even if Fred was strong, how could he deal with more than a hundred people, armed with guns, machetes, and iron bars?Both Zane and the gangsters were thinking the same thing.The thugs noticed that their target, Stellar, whom Zane had specially warned them about, did not come forward. Instead, their

Stellar did not care if Flint attacked him, but Fred was behind him!How could Stellar tolerate such impudence toward Fred?With that in mind, he looked at Fred. Once Fred gave a small nod, Stellar took a step forward and faced Flint who was charging toward him head-on.Almost instantly, the two of them clashed.How fierce would the fight between warlords be?The speed of their actions was so fast that no one could see them clearly. More importantly, the disastrous aftermath of the collision immediately caused the surrounding tables, chairs, benches, and window glass to shatter into pieces. It was terrifying beyond words!As the blasts from their confrontation came one wave after another, the thugs who were still conscious began to scamper in fear, crawling if they could not stand up. In short, they tried to seek cover as far as they could. They feared they would become collateral casualties from the battle between these warlords."Damn it!"Zane was scared but he was more an
